3. Using your 4 micro servos (we recommend the MKS HV69 as seen in figure 4) we will now
install these servos. Begin with the upper wings (they are shorter than the lower wings) and
carefully pull the servo lead thru the wing and out of the wing root. Do this to the remaining
upper wing half at this time. For the lower wings attach a 6” extension to the servo lead and then
carefully pull it thru the wing and thru the wing root.
Figure 4
NOTE: Be sure to secure this extension to the servo lead in some permanent manner.
Suggestions include tying the connection with dental floss or installing a piece of heat shrink
over the connection then shrink. Using a plastic manufactured servo wire connector will work
but may make it difficult to pull the lead thru the wing to the root.
-Step 3 continued-
Now secure the servo into the servo bay and orient the output shaft forward (towards the leading
edge of the wing) and install the servo arm. Take the short pushrods, there will be 4 all the same
length, thread a ball link onto each end about 15 turns. Locate (2) 2mm by 10mm long allen head
bolts, 2mm washers and 2mm nylon insert nuts. I like to begin at the control horn, I install a
washer onto the bolt, then insert that thru the eye of the ball link, then another washer and then
thru the hole of the control horn and secure with a nylon insert nut. Now center your servo, this
means align the servo arm with the hinge line, not perpendicular to the servo. Try to do this
mechanically before using your transmitter, once this is complete put a washer onto the 2mm
bolt, then thru the eye of the ball link and install onto the servo arm. You may need to turn the
ball link in or out onto the pushrod to achieve the proper length, just try to turn each ball link
equally. Always try to achieve a perfect setup mechanically first then go to your transmitter
settings for final adjustment. If using the EFRC lightweight arms, use blue thread lock, a nylon
